Street Fighter V Cinematic Story Expansion Trailer, will have 2nd art story at launch
- Thread starter normalmode
- Start date
They probably will.
L fucking OL at people still complaining and now saying that it is an incomplete game because it does not have it at launch.
Star Wars Battlefront and how many other shooters and other games these days do not have single player campaigns and story modes?
Just stop.
This is a competitive fighting game, built from the ground up for the FGC as a primary focus.
The fact that we are getting story and everything else is awesome, but you still can not please people.

Thats not what I meant. If the majority of the sf fanbased cared for story only super streetfighter 4 wouldn't have sold as well as it did, and sales for that were over 2 million. Besides that i don't how do you know im not a casual sf player? I bet it would just blow your mind if a casual player didn't care about a story mode.
Casuals make up the majority of sales, not specifically the fanbase because not everyone that buys sf is a fan. What I was saying is that sf would sell enough alone even without the people that buy it for story and then sell it.
Awesome, must of missed this. Thanks.

I'm one of those weird ass fans who just loves these characters. It's very cool to see them represented like this. The game looks really stylish in person. I was super impressed with the visual style of the game from the beta.

hmmm I wonder if they'll switch off Illustrators between seasons.... would love to see season 2 DLC characters with maybe Kinu or Akiman illustrations.

Good point; makes me hopeful again they'll be consistent with their stage design and have Bustling Side Street style transitions in most other stages. That and time of day / weather variations preferably.
I would definitely welcome more story DLC but I do wonder if the more vocal SF supporters would ever start asking for this (unfortunately). Not to open the door to more heated discussion about this, but sometimes I'd wish that the casual/hardcore(in this case FG members, I guess) divide would not be made based mostly on people's skill level and time commitment but on actual amounts of (historic) love for and current willingness to purchase fighting games overal.
On such a "passion scale", there would be plenty of people like me ranking as "hardcore fighting game fans" because of their lifelong passion for the genre, even if they play them against the CPU for the most part and despite them never being able to kick ass at tournaments or even online. And on such a scale, having a story mode like the one we're getting (as well as plenty of stages, mind) is quite vital to win people over, not just good netcode, plenty of characters and a training stage. In the end we need the money of both groups of fans to keep this glorious boat of ours afloat, don't we?

Probably bengus art backstories and possibly teasing what's beyond, I feel each season will include everyone in the cinematic department. Although it will be awhile before that.

I can easily see the 5 years of DLC support to be themed
Base Game, Shadaloo failing again
SP 1- Who/What is Urien? (maybe FANG Defects? or is a Illuminati spy)
SP 2 - The Rise of the Illuminati/Illuminati VS Shadaloo (characters that are Illuminati and those directly against them)
SP 3 - New Wave World Warriors VS Illu (so Sean for instance)
SP 4 - Return of the King (Ok, I just made this one up, but would be cool to have Sagat in charge XD)
Sp 5 - Guest Characters

Aren't you the one that made the thread saying that the game wasn't going to have anything like this?
Are you surprised by this reaction?

So you are being contradictory.
Because they are focusing in what SF do best at first place and what it will sell the game for both pro and casuals.
The cinematic story is not at launch... so let's see the sales in February before you call me ignorant.

SP4: Ryu training under Oro, while akuma quietly returns
SP5: epilogue to SF6 Ken perhaps training a young Mel and Sean, guile getting closure, that kind of stuff.

Mr. Gerald C Rivers
All these scenes are missing is some great voice work.This is the man who does the great M. Bison voice work. He was voice of Bison in Wreck it Ralph I think. I think these trailers will work even better with some nice voice over work. I'm so looking forward to the finished product.
juri was seths number 2 and killed him in her ending and took over, also yeah in the anime she was pretty much god like i dont see why she couldn't be the next boss... but it would probably be urien if its a DLC character btw am i the only one that types urine and has to correct it after lol
Hi i'm Caleb

Me too. Its neat.
I said what i said because the game is a service. Straight up. With no other updated retail releases, everything will be delivered online. If you dont have online then... Your access is cut off. Thats all. Its good to warn customers of this upfront. Especially at retail level. Thats all.
People should being so damned defensiv for no reason.
But we don't know if they're not going to release new discs. We only know that we won't need a new disc if we buy the first one.
That doesn't mean they won't release an S1 collection, or S2 collected or whatever.
The characters look good, the stages look terrible (performance-wise).

Are you sure it won't have retail releases for the updates?

They said they won't release super update discs, but I could see them releasing game of the year editions with all dlc. Although, I doubt it.. That would mean for the next 5 years getting GOTY editions.

I believe we will see one big retail release per year with the main game + updates... yeah makes sense.
Capcom is not that dumb.
All pretty awesome to hear -er, read, thanks for this.
Overall, this all sounds pretty damn good. Sign me up.

Ono talking about why they'll never reboot Street Fighter in a SF3-style while he's in charge
http://www.destructoid.com/ono-stre...-reboot-as-long-as-i-m-involved--336523.phtml
I think he's probably right. There was a major shock on some level when people saw SF3's initial cast and it only had two returning characters, even though they were two of the most popular. It was a big risk for them to do that and it didn't pay off.

The right decision.
I guess they will mix old and new with the DLC characters and that is good.

The best new character was Juri everyone else at least IMO are blah.
Elf,Hakan,Viper,Abel,Gouken,Rufus ( viper is okay )
Laura,Fang,rashid and Necali ( the jury still out for these )
Yep, I was one.
"The fuck is this?" went through my head when I first saw SF3 at the arcade.

From a sales perspective it totally makes sense. But man, SF3 has the coolest cast of all time. I much prefer that direction than using the god damn World Warriors over and over again.

Hell yes, one of my favorite things in fightings games -_-
This is pretty much why I stayed away from SFIII until Chun Li was added in...
Of course, Ibuki became my favorite SF character of all time during Third Strike... So yeah.
Don't scare the fan base away with too many new faces... And once your have them lured in, temp them with some new characters is definitely the way to go. (For me at least)
Then again, Ibuki, Makoto, Urien and Dudley aside... I dislike the rest of the new SFIII cast...
I'd agree for the most part. I thought Gouken, while being yet another shoto was a nice addition, though. Fun to fight against.
So far, Necali and Laura are the only ones that interest me, play-style wise.

No Alex or love for the OP twins?! Rip second impact Sean you were too good.. Elena was cool before ultra making her a villain.
What's wrong with it? Looks pretty cool to me, people have to remember this is pre-SFIII so it's normal he has shorter hair.
Absolutley the right decision. Yeah sure there were quite a few great new characters in SF3, but getting rid of so many classic characters like they did was a huge mistake. I'm glad they've learnt this. I loved SF3, but I never want another game like NG again.
Has Capcom said as such? Nope. At the moment they have said this will be the only retail release of the game. DLC packs at retail dont do very well.
Unless they do Season editions but at that point its the same as iterations. Killer Instict did this. There is no season 2 retail edition.
ShogunDarius

Juri and Viper are OK and like the poster above Laura and Necalli interest me most. Absolutely cannot stand Hugo from 3 though. Best 3 Character is Urien btw.
Gipsy Danger
Member
It's not the same as iterations because you don't have to pay for balance updates. You can play until the game is dead with the one disc whereas you had to buy multiple versions to keep playing online with people.
Nope.
I was almost in college when SFIII came out and the roller blades and skateboard and hat with Yun and Yang came off to me as pandering...
This was after Rollerblades were cool and before Tony Hawk Pro Skater reinvigorated interest in skateboarding. Turned me off to Yun and Yang completely.
Never have been a fan of grapplers in general, so Alex was out.
I always have disliked a character in a fighting game was given the ability to heal, so Elena, regardless of how awesome her animation was in SFIII was a no...
Oro, Twelve, and Necro... No. No. No.
Having a Final Fight character like Hugo (he'll always be Andore to me) was okay, but again... Grappler. Not my cup of tea.
Remy... Yeah. French Goth Guile? Not sure who Capcom was attempting to appeal to there...
So yeah, I'll stick by my list of Ibuki, Urien, Makoto, and Dudley as only the SFIII characters I care for.

I think it takes time for people to warm up to characters. I think fans would welcome even some of the less popular characters back. Remy, Necro, Twelve and Oro.
Okay. Let me break it down. I live in an area like many in the US where internet is sparse. However these buy games and fighters to play. MK sold like hot cake because of offline content was pretty damn good. It offered a nice package. Now this game, while i am hyped for it persoannly, will be a tricky sale in my area. Its SFV! Awesome! However both extra characters and a story mode is essentially blocked from them because the game is a service. Therefore, i just expressed a hope that Capcom help out us retailers in labelling it as such. If you do not have online, this release is super duper basic and barebones for non hardcore fighting game fans.
Thats all. So i hope they have a solution going forward for these customers.

Not even mentioning Q. For shame.

We need Oro training Ryu I'm down, he's by far one of the strongest characters in SF lore

Q was pretty popular though. I hope all characters at least get fleshed out scenes in story mode even if they don't get a roster spot.
Speaking of one of the strongest characters in SF lore, Cody doesn't get enough love here or from Capcom.
